<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gmarguli, post: 402485, member: 246&quot;]Let me guess, you&#039;ve never sold something and been paid by PayPal?</p><p><br /></p><p>Just a quick reality check for you. If you sell something to someone in a foreign country and they pay by PayPal, the ONLY thing they need to do to get that money back is to contact PayPal and claim they never received the item. If you can prove they did (need delivery tracking on all packages or signature on items of $250 or more) you may win. If not, you&#039;ll lose and PayPal will take the money back from you. BTW, the only way you can get delivery confirmation or signature is by Express Mail which generally runs $25-$40 for a standard package. Do you really think you can charge this much to buyers?</p><p><br /></p><p>I should also mention that there are certain countries where the postal system is either the most incompetent or corrupt. I <i>dare</i> you to send a coin to Greece, Cyprus, China (mainland), Poland, Mexico, Russia, or Italy and on the customs form put coin and value $50.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh yeah, the Post Office also doesn&#039;t offer any real amount of insurance on packages going internationally. And while Express Mail allows you to purchase insurance up to $5,000, coins are an excluded category, meaning if you file a claim you&#039;ll get nothing. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, please let us know if your business acumen thinks it is wise for sellers to take this risk.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
